Die Suiderstrand-biblioteek, wat verlede Februarie in \u2019n verwoestende brand in puin gel\u00ea is, gaan heeltemal herbou word om die gemeenskaps\u00adbaken tot sy eertydse glorie te hervestig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierdie verwikkeling volg nadat gemeenskapslede, onder leiding van die gemeenskapsaktivis Cheslyn Benn, byna twee maande gelede hul stem dik gemaak en hul misnoe\u00eb oor die biblioteek, wat in die brand vernietig is, aan owerhede uitgespreek het (\u201cVrae, eise oor biblioteek,\u201d DistriksPos & Helderberg Gazette<\/i>, 15 Junie). Di\u00e9 groep het Sondag 12 Junie voor die verkoolde vier dekade oue baken vir \u2019n bespreking bymekaargekom oor wat die toekoms inhou en wat van die raad verwag word om die biblioteek te herbou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die 42-jarige biblioteek in Laer Gordonsbaaiweg is Saterdag 27 Februarie verlede jaar vermoedelik weens brandstigting in vlamme verswelg (\u201cGeskiedenis, nie net boeke, vernietig,\u201d DistriksPos<\/i>, 4 Maart 2021). Die voorval het in die vroe\u00eb oggendure plaasgevind en brandweerdienste is n\u00e1 \u2019n noodoproep om 05:37 ontplooi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die verwoestende brand is die eerste voorval in onlangse jare waarin \u2019n stadsbiblioteek heeltemal vernietig is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strukturele deskundiges het die Stad Kaapstad aanbeveel om die verkoolde oorblyfsels van die gebou, wat eens die Suiderstrand-biblioteek gehuisves het, te sloop (\u201cSlopingsvoorstel vir biblioteek,\u201d 7 Oktober 2021). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die gemeenskap ly meer as \u2019n jaar later steeds onder die verlies van die biblioteek waarheen talle jeugdiges oor die jare hul toevlug geneem het en wat selfs as naskoolsentrum gedien het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die misnoegde gemeenskapslede het inwoners nie altyd geld om \u2019n taxi te haal of die tyd om saam met hul kinders na ander biblioteke in omliggende gebiede te stap nie \u2013 dit terwyl kinders se opvoeding en groei daaronder ly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Navraag aan Patricia van der Ross, raadslid en burgemeesterskomiteelid vir gemeenskapsdienste en gesondheid, oor planne vir die oorblyfsels van die biblioteek \u2013 wat soos \u2019n seer oog uitstaan \u2013 het \u2019n beter prentjie geskep, wat \u201copgewondenheid\u201d in die gemeenskap gebring het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van der Ross het bevestig die munisipaliteit werk aan planne om die Suiderstrand-biblioteek te herbou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns is tans in die ontwerpfase,\u201d het sy ges\u00ea. \u201cDie voorgestelde nuwe gebou van die Suiderstrand-biblioteek gaan met \u2019n ander ontwerp spog as wat dit voor die brand gehad het.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benn het hul blydskap en opgewondenheid oor die nuwe verwikkelinge rakende die biblioteek se toekoms uitgespreek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar is weer nuwe hoop vir ons gemeenskap en ons jeug,\u201d het hy meegedeel. \u201cOns sal die nuwe Suiderstrand-biblioteek tot die maksimum voordeel moet gebruik, want ons almal weet watter belangrike rol \u2019n biblioteek in ons gemeenskap vervul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het ook ges\u00ea huishoudings in di\u00e9 kwesbare gemeenskap sal ook weer toegang tot die internet geniet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk wil die belangrike rolspelers bedank vir die druk wat hulle ook toegepas het aan die mense wat in beheer is van besluite soos hierdie. Eenheid is werklik krag,\u201d het Benn bygevoeg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dis egter nie alles maanskyn en rose nie, want volgens Van der Ross is die geld wat die versekering n\u00e1 die brand uitbetaal het, nie naastenby genoeg om die biblioteek te herbou nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns is tans in gesprek met al ons provinsiale eweknie\u00eb vir bystand en ondersteuning,\u201d het sy bygevoeg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van der Ross kan in hierdie stadium geen verdere kommentaar rakende die proses lewer nie, maar belowe om die gemeenskap van enige verdere verwikkelinge op hoogte te hou. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
